Shooting the Moon

The Jays took Vernon Wells, Troy Glaus, Davis Romero and Gustavo Chacin off the DL yesterday and had to drop someone from the 40-man roster. The casualty was Hector Luna, who was designated for assignment. Now he has to pass through waivers and then the Jays can release him or see if he’ll accept being sent to AAA.

Lima Time is to baseball as Miller Time is to beer. No matter how desperate you are for a quick fix to avoid the realities of your current situation you’re going to regret it terribly the next morning.

J.P. just says stuff like that…he has something in mind and knows he has to provide a sound bite that doesn’t confuse anyone. Really, it means nothing. You saw what incredibly little faith they had in him last year. He’s not going to be in the mix come April. Towers is just an asset that is worth slightly less than zero at this point.

I must agree, the guys at Fire Joe Morgan have their heads screwed on the right way:

“Yep, every Hall of Famer did something unique. Mike Schmidt played with his hat sideways. Roberto Clemente chewed other people’s fingernails. Tris Speaker was Japanese. Lou Boudreau rode a dolphin into the batter’s box. Nap Lajoie would only use John Wilkes Booth’s dismembered leg as a bat. And he corked it. Johnny Mize was from the future.
